I'm considering Worcester but it looks quite far out of town


It's also one of the closer ones to the Mathematical Institute. ( Somerville and St Anne's being the closest.)

Hi,

Do you happen to know the average MAT score of prospective applicants and/or interviewees for maths?

Thankyou!

Hey guys! You seem to be a wonderful source of college-related knowledge, and I'm wondering if any of you can give me opinions on Hertford? I am planning to apply for Harris Manchester or Hertford, but I can't decide which I prefer. I like the idea of a small college with other mature students, but equally, Hertford has a lot of appeal, too. Can anyone offer me opinions? I'd be really grateful :smile: x

I visited Hertford at the open day and it seemed a very nice college, friendly atmosphere, stunning architecture, and it is quite "central" (which doesn't really apply to Oxford where the farthest thing is like 10/20 minutes walk but still).
Hope this can help a bit :smile:

Worcester is well placed for most things in Oxford undergraduates are likely to want to access.

Ahh! I'm applying for French and Hebrew too! I thought I was the only one!! :biggrin:

Hi, it's nice to know that there's someone who's interested in the same course . What made you want to apply for that combination? (I've never met anyone who wanted to study both languages )

What's your main interest in Hebrew?

Ha, that statement would be true if you included yourself and left me out :biggrin:

No! :tongue:
I got AAAB at AS, with the B in biology :no:. I was 5 Ums off an A, worth remarking? That's about 3 marks, I'll get all 3 papers remarked?

I'm sorry if something like this has been asked before, but could a good performance at AS and GCSE make up for a less good/poor LNAT score?
Hi, will hopefully apply this year.

GCSE: 7A*'s 3A's 2Bs :angry:
AS Level: AAAAB (remarking chemistry)
A2 Prediction: A*A*A*A + A in AS Further Maths
Course: E&M
College: Undecided

I took Maths, Economics, Physics, Business Studies and Chemistry respectively.

(edited 8 years ago)
GCSE grades: 6A*s 3As B and I have an A* in a GCSE Short Course
AS levels: History A Politics A English Literature A Philosophy B
Course: History
College: Lincoln or Balliol
Anyone else applying for Biological Sciences in October? :smile:
GCSE: 9A*'s 2A's
AS Level: AAAC
A2 Level Subjects: Biology, Maths, Psychology. Most people seem to be doing four (?!?), but no way am I continuing with Chemistry!
Course: Biomedical Sciences
College: I like the look of Balliol, New College, and Magdalen.
(edited 8 years ago)
I'm applying for Law at either Hertford, Balliol, Teddy Hall or Magdalene.

GCSES: 5A*s, 4As, 2Bs, 3Cs (Mitigating circumstances at comprehensive but ranked forth in Year)
AS Levels: Government and Politics: A(93%) I've just been informed that I have the highest grade in the year!!
Religious Studies: A (84%) I also got the highest in the year!!
General Studies: A (86%) It may not count but still proud!!
History: B (78%) Grade pending as I am in the process of getting it remarked!!
English Literature: D undoubtedly the shock of the day. My coursework was an A, it was my exam that let me down. I'll be dropping it anyway and I don't think I'll resit as it'll be motivation not to get too arrogant next year.

A2 Predicted grades: So far they're looking like A*A*A but with any luck I could change that to A*A*A*

You're in the same boat as me. I got AAAB with the B in English Literature and 5 UMS from an A. I've requested a remark despite my teacher's concerns that it is highly unlikely to change or increase. It's certainly worth a shot and I don't see the harm in doing so.

I'm applying for Arabic and Islamic Studies at St Johns.
GCSE's: 7 A*s, 3 As, 1 B
AS: AAAA

So worried about the OLAT though, it looks really hard
Hi,

If I'm predicted 2 A*s and 2 As can I still apply to medicine at University College Oxford? Surely I would be ranked lower on this than everyone else applying, who might be predicted much higher??

I got 4 As (none taken early or anything) and 10 A*s at GCSE (lots of people from my school got this though so my results aren't really that special!!)

Might as well give it a go, as long as you fit the requirements, why worry?
